Episode 86: When you feel like a hamster on a wheel

Feeling like you are a hamster on a wheel, not making an impact, not able to make substantive change to environmental and social justice issues can be depleting. Sometimes doing the work itself is not enough - it can feel like a drain on your energy and mental health. 

So you need to change what you are doing and how you approach the problem to get the gains you want. In today’s episode I talk to someone who has overcome exactly this when it comes to taking environmental action.

Pauline is a member of the Eco-Impact Academy and says, “The environmental crisis still seems pretty dire, and yet where I was felt like a hamster in a wheel. I never saw any return, it felt really difficult to know how to make an impact. Now (the issues) seem no less dire, but my sense of helplessness seems different from what it was.”
